Judas - Cage The Elephant

The time has finally come

You get a mouth full

You only act on greed

And by your actions this is proved

And can’t you see all the flowers dying all around you

Got your hands in the devil’s pockets

Got everything to lose

And so you lash out

To crush the ones below

Or all the ones that you fear most

And you call this crowd control

Well, let me break it down for you

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself

Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt

And it’s a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control

But at least you made some money, hey, let the good times roll

It’s your dream to be the king of all creation

As far as I’m concerned you hung your shadow on the wall

And though your fingers never really pulled the trigger

Your hands are just as guilty, you’re the one who brought the blood

Again you lash out to hush the ones who know

'Cause they’re the ones that you fear most

And it’s called damage control

Well, let me break it down for you

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself

Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt

And it’s a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control

But at least you made some money, hey let the good times roll

Oh, my!

The greed has now consumed you

Your eyes fade as you fall into the ocean

You move fast to feed your lust for money

You dive down now, you’re caught in the commotion

All this, and you trade it in for nothing

A cheap lie.

You put it in your pocket

All this.

Yeah, you trade it in for nothing

Oh, my!

I can see your heart has met its end

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas

Say hello to Judas
